As others have pointed out, resources are currently available. Especially in Germany.
Nevertheless, countries who have been successful in reducing the spread also need to find ways to drive R0 below 1 for a long time. This has proven difficult in Germany.
Therefore, it seems that any reasonable false positive rate will still be a net benefit - given that active cases are now very low and it is desirable to catch any infections early.
So yes, this will not help everyone. And yes, it may lead to false positive quarantines - until test results are back.
But it still seems to be a net positive as long as the privacy part is intact.
